Zsolt Hamar & Joint Wind Orchestra of Nine European Universities Presented by Liszt Academy

A new type of mobility under Erasmus+, the Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) aims to combine online and face-to-face learning. The programme will bring wind students from 8 prestigous european music universities – Barcelona, Vienna, The Hague, Brno, Graz, Dublin, Oslo, Porto – to the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in July, and it will conclude with a concert to showcase the results of their joint work. Firstly, during an online session, Máté Balogh will give a lecture on the pieces of the concert by Igor Stravinsky and Richard Strauss. After arriving to Budapest, the young musicians will begin their work under the guidance of Zsolt Hamar and the Liszt Academy’s teachers. The evening will feature rarely heard pieces from the 19th and 20th century wind orchestral repertoire, from Donizetti, known as an opera composer, to the miniature pieces of András Szőllősy’s series of educational pieces.
